OPENING DOORS IN NEW COMMUNITIES

We’re pleased to share the news that we are working with individuals and organizations in the following cities to open Challenger Learning Centers: Harlingen, TX; Reno, NV; San Antonio, TX; Schenectady, NY; Sacramento, CA; Indiana, PA; and Swanton, VT. These actions are a true testament to a community’s commitment to bettering the lives of their local students and teachers.

IDENTIFYING NEW AUDIENCES

In close collaboration with our Challenger Learning Center community, we are focused on leveraging our unique strengths in 21st-century skills development, simulation and technology innovation to reach new audiences and utilize our missions to address critical workforce development needs. In 2012, we successfully completed the beta testing of a healthcare industry mission scenario aligned with the sector’s high-priority patient safety, quality care and reimbursement objectives. The tailored mission experience accelerates the development of essential competencies and skills in leadership, communication, problem solving, decision making and team building. It received a strong positive review from our healthcare industry partners. Our goal is to complete the mission scenario development and provide a business/ marketing strategy to our Centers by early 2014. To date, 18 Challenger Learning Centers have joined our healthcare team. The initiative’s longer-term scope includes expansion into manufacturing and other business sectors with significant impacts at the secondary, post-secondary and adult education levels.

A NATIONAL CHALLENGER STEM INNOVATION CENTER

In 2012, the Executive Office of the Mayor of Washington, D.C., further confirmed Mayor Vincent Gray’s commitment to advancing D.C.’s STEM education initiatives, student career opportunities and workforce development goals by budgeting funds for a National Challenger STEM Innovation Center. This pledge from the Mayor’s Office represents a substantial step forward in Challenger Center’s pursuit to establish a National STEM Center in the nation’s capital.

A hub for training, research and development, the National Center will serve as a practical learning center for students and teachers. It will be home to a state-of-the art Challenger Learning Center, joining our current network of more than 40 Challenger Learning Centers around the globe. Additionally, it will be the headquarters for the development, demonstration and evaluation of new educational programs and innovative learning technologies and approaches.

During the 2012 Challenger Center annual conference, the organization was honored to present the prestigious President George H.W. Bush Award to Dr. Kathryn Sullivan, acting under secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere, acting NOAA administrator, and former NASA astronaut. Dr. Sullivan played a key role in the creation of Challenger Center and has continued to support the mission, vision and values of the organization.

The President George H.W. Bush Award, established by Challenger Center Founding Chair Dr. June Scobee Rodgers, is presented to an individual who demonstrates a commitment to Challenger Center by going above and beyond for the betterment and future of the organization.

At the time of the Challenger accident in 1986, Vice President Bush was the first person to express his grief and great sorrow to the families, speaking for himself, the President and the grieving nation. He was the first to support the Challenger families in their efforts to create Challenger Center for Space Science Education. In the years following the tragedy, President and Mrs. Bush continued to provide leadership and guidance to the organization.

In April 1995, Challenger Center presented President and Mrs. Bush with the Challenger Center Presidential Award to recognize the impact that their leadership had in fulfilling the dream of the family members. In appreciation of their continued support, the award became the President George H.W. Bush Award. This top honor is presented to distinguished individuals who demonstrate compassion, encouragement and commitment to Challenger Center, just as President and Mrs. Bush have over the years.

Prior to Dr. Sullivan, the President George H.W. Bush Award was presented to former NASA educator astronaut Barbara Morgan (2007) and former NASA astronaut William Readdy (2011).
